The fact this is now being highlighted seems like no coincidence, given that Elden Ring\u2019s massive Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is one of the highest scored, most beloved releases of the year. But is it\u2026a game? Here\u2019s how the Game Awards now address <a href=\"https:\/\/thegameawards.com\/faq\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/thegameawards.com\/faq\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/thegameawards.com\/faq\" aria-label=\"this issue in an FAQ:\">this issue in an FAQ:<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Are DLCs, expansion packs and remakes\/ remasters eligible?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Game Awards aims to recognize the best creative and technical work each year, irrespective of the format of that content\u2019s release. Expansion packs, new game seasons, DLCs, remakes and remasters are eligible in all categories, if the jury deems the new creative and technical work to be worthy of a nomination. Factors such as the newness of the content and its price\/value should be taken into consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, I\u2019m seeing people say, be they journalists or players, that this feels\u2026wrong. In the case of Shadow of the Erdtree, despite its size, you not only need to own Elden Ring, but you need to have played a sizable chunk of Elden Ring to even start it. I also think that something like Cyberpunk 2077\u2019s Phantom Liberty comes to mind, but again, same situation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed-base image-embed embed-1\" role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion><\/p>\n<p class=\"color-body light-text\">Phantom Liberty<\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>CDPR<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Personally, it\u2019s weird. Shadow of the Erdtree currently <em>is<\/em> my favorite release of the year. Phantom Liberty <em>was<\/em> my favorite release of that year as well. But even with that said, I\u2019m not sure I can get behind the idea that they count as \u201cgames\u201d when they are not standalone offerings. Obviously something like Miles Morales, a standalone spin-off of Spider-Man, despite using the same city, should count. But actual DLC and expansions? They probably just need their own category.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the thing though: just because this rule now lets these expansions be nominated, that does not mean they will\u2026actually be nominated. If even I think that despite these being my favorite releases of a given year, that they probably shouldn\u2019t count, that\u2019s something that any amount of pther nominators might believe as well, and so it may fall short of the required threshold of a nomination even if the rule \u201callows\u201d it now. I would be a little surprised if Erdtree landed a nomination as a result, and I doubt there would be any chance it actually won, even with this rule change.<\/p>\n<p>The way The Game Awards has done categories is always weird. One of the chief problems, still not addressed, is that if a GOTY nominee is in a sub-category like Best Adventure game, then by default it <em>has<\/em> to win that category, making the entire thing somewhat pointless for the other games. But that\u2019s a separate issue from this one, and we\u2019ll see how the expansion issue plays out in December.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow me <\/em><\/strong><a
